Bat Removal & Exclusion in Midwood, Brooklyn
Midwood's charming residential streets and century-old homes provide ideal conditions for bat colonies to establish themselves in attics, chimneys, and wall voids.

Our humane, effective approach ensures bats are safely removed and prevented from returning to your Brooklyn property.
Why Midwood Has a Bats Problem
Midwood's tree-lined streets near Brooklyn College and the mix of older single-family homes and apartment buildings create multiple entry points for bats seeking shelter. The neighborhood's proximity to green spaces like the Brooklyn College campus grounds makes bat presence particularly common in attic spaces and roof eaves of local properties.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Midwood
Bat removal is strictly regulated under New York State law — bats may not be killed, and removal must use exclusion methods during approved windows outside maternity season (June–mid-August). Our technicians — licensed or working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator — inspect your home or building for all entry points, paying particular attention to ridge caps, gable vents, soffit gaps, and chimney flashing where bats typically enter. We install one-way exclusion devices over primary entry points during the legal exclusion window, allowing bats to exit but not re-enter, then return to seal all openings permanently with caulk, hardware cloth, and foam once bats have vacated. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.
